The Pilatus-Bahnen railway was built over 130 years ago and is still the world’s steepest cogwheel railway. The train climbs the path from Alpnachstad to Pilatus Kulm, with passengers able to view flowering alpine meadows, striking rock formations and snowfields. The railway has become one of Switzerland's most successful tourist attractions. Because of its popularity and large number of passengers, the railway needed larger and faster rail vehicles equipped with modern technology. Reliable and robust data network technology from Westermo was chosen to support the operation of these new trains.
